Description
The CTS Turbo MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI Direct Fit FMIC Kit is the perfect upgrade for your OEM front mounted intercooler (FMIC). Designed to be a hassle-free installation without any trimming or modification of the bumper, this kit is a direct drop-in replacement for your OEM intercooler. The OEM FMIC can handle stock boost levels, but once boost levels are increased with ECU upgrades or chipping, the OEM FMIC struggles to keep up with the charged air temperatures. Higher charged air temperatures can lead to boost cut and timing pull, both of which reduce the amount of power your vehicle produces.
The CTS Turbo MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI Direct Fit FMIC Kit uses a high efficiency bar and plate intercooler core, which helps to reduce pressure drop. This means that your turbo does not have to work as hard to make a given level of boost. For instance, if your turbo makes 30psi of boost pressure and your intercooler has a 10psi pressure drop, the boost measured by your ECU would be (30psi – 10psi) = 20psi. With an efficient FMIC like the CTS Turbo MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI Direct Fit FMIC Kit, your turbo does not have to work as hard to reach desired boost levels. This is beneficial in two ways: the turbo life expectancy is increased due to more efficient operation, and boost leaving the turbocharger is cooler and more dense, resulting in more power to the ground.
The CTS Turbo MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI Direct Fit FMIC Kit features efficient bar and plate construction, direct bolt-in installation, 4-ply silicon hoses and billet adapter to turbo outlet pipe, high quality stainless steel clamps, low pressure drop, and maintains factory mounting points. With a power rating in excess of 600HP, this intercooler is a high-quality upgrade that is built to last. The core dimensions are 23.00 Length x 2.00" Tall x 16.5" Height, and the cast aluminum end tanks have mounting points that are CAST into the end tank, NOT welded like inferior intercoolers. Upgrade your MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI intercooler with the CTS Turbo MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI Direct Fit FMIC Kit and get more power and increased turbo life expectancy.
